The leveling here reminds me a bit of how Lucene organizes and compacts its segments files. When you write documents to Lucene they are written to a segments file, usually one for each batch of documents you write. When searching, each of

gjs has something similar: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gjs/tree/modules/promise.js You end up writing code like: function doAsyncStuff() { let result = yield someAsyncCall(); result = yield someOtherAsyncCall(result)

Generators (yield) look very nice, especially when combined with deferred functions. The nicer scoping of let/const and yield are the two things I prefer of gjs (which is built on top of Spidermonkey, which supports those features) over No

Does Apple use the same protocol for streaming video to an Apple TV? If so, is the key from an Apple TV needed to emulate a video endpoint, or is just some tweaking required (presumably to the MDNS service data) to identify it as video-ena

That's the most annoying thing about the page. If Microsoft really cared about getting people off of IE and onto something modern, they'd also offer alternatives for browsers which ran on XP beyond IE8. I don't necessarily begrudge MS for

It would be nice of Node (or rather, v8 underneath it) supported generators and the "yield" keyword like Mozilla's Spidermonkey. Unfortunately, yield is a Javascript 1.7 extension for now, but there's hope for it in ES Harmony. Anyway, wit

For types of employment which are often for-hire or hourly (think plumbers, electricians, etc.), unions typically offer group insurance for their members. It would be nice if there were a similar union for tech entrepreneurs and startup emp

As a former ITA employee, I was amazed by how great the ITA inventions agreement was in this respect. It has set the bar for negotiations in my future employment negotiations.

What do you hate about it? I like the idea, but I find it to be buggy and incomplete. Not all of the Google services work with it yet, mobile versions of their sites don't seem to support it at all, etc. If/when that's solved, I think it

I use this Greasemonkey script to do this. It works in Chrome and Firefox: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/24430 It does the unread count thing, but it also toggles between it and the chat icon if you have unread chat messages. It's

Somewhat OT, but I never understood why editing your own answer on SO would cause it to go community wiki. If you're improving your own answer, shouldn't you get the rep for it? I can understand how others' significant edits would cause it

I wish I could upvote you a dozen times. This exactly expresses my own feelings about DF. Every time he goes off on one of these snarky tirades I resolve to unsubscribe in my RSS feeder. He usually then redeems himself with an insightful

I think I am going to start wearing a protective cup whenever I have to fly. Hmm, for that matter, would those protect you from the high tech strip search?

One concern I have with this approach is that like all code, it becomes hairier and more complicated over time as it becomes more robust and special cases are handled. Once bash scripts reach a certain size and complexity, I've found they b
